Governor Andrew Cuomo is reported to be on Joe Bidenâs shortlist for attorney general of the United States, though Cuomo claims heâs not interested. A savvy response, considering he might not be Bidenâs final choice, and if he is, heâll have to undergo Senate scrutiny. Heâs got a lot to explain.
Not because of an unsubstantiated accusation of sexual misconduct hurled against Cuomo on Sunday. The real issue is Cuomoâs track record of proven public policy blunders that cost New Yorkers their lives.
Cuomoâs constituents are bearing the brunt of his left-wing criminal justice policies that put repeat offenders back on the streets hours after their arrest with no bail required. That includes looters â but also shooters. New Yorkers are being terrorized by a huge increase in gun violence, mostly by repeat offenders who would be behind bars if Cuomo hadnât kowtowed to the extreme left on bail âreform.â The toll: 1,756 dead or wounded so far this year in New York City, according to the NYPD.
